Member Managed
Maple & Pierce are cooperatively owned and self-managed by the Residents with support from Raise-Op staff.  Buildings are financed by City of Lewiston and Coop Fund of New England. Residents are cooperative homeowner Members and have the greatest level of responsibility for the operation of their home and the organization.  They also live in our older buildings where more ongoing renovation is required, which also allows for more home modifications.
